Throughout his working life\, Olmsted and his firm carried out over 500 commissions\, nearly 100 of which were public parks. The parks\, he held\, were to be vital democratic spaces in cities\, where citizens from all walks of life could intermingle and be refreshed. \nPrior to officially committing to landscape architecture\, Olmsted was a New York Times correspondent to the Confederate states\, the manager of a California gold mine\, and General Secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission during the Civil War. The man\, a workaholic by today’s standards\, plagued with chronic ailments\, spent the latter half of his life devoting nearly every waking minute to creating restorative green spaces for overworked city dwellers. In large part through his own words\, this film weaves together his engaging and poignant personal story with those of the lasting masterpieces he left for us today. \n \nCompleted On Camera Interview Subjects:\nCharles Beveridge – Author\, Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing the American Landscape; series editor\, The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted\, Department of History\, American University\, Washington D.C. \nWitold Rybczynski – Professor of urbanism\, University of Pennsylvania; author\, A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the Nineteenth Century. \nArleyn Levee – Former chairperson\, National Association of Olmsted Parks; board member\, Emerald Necklace Conservancy; Olmsted historian. \nBetsy Shure Gross – Co-founder\, National Association of Olmsted Parks; former vice president\, Emerald Necklace Conservancy; board member\, City Parks Alliance. \nAdrian Benepe – Commissioner\, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. \nDoug Blonsky – President\, Central Park Conservancy; administrator and landscape architect\, Central Park. \nSara Cedar Miller – Official historian and board member\, Central Park Conservancy; author and photographer\, Central Park\, An American Masterpiece and Seeing Central Park: The Official Guide to the World’s Greatest Urban Park. \nTupper Thomas – President\, Prospect Park Alliance; administrator\, Prospect Park. \nMichael Dukakis – Former governor\, Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Democratic nominee for US President in 1980; professor of political science\, Northeastern University. \nMorrison Heckscher – Lawrence A.

The artist brings a playful energy to work exploring transformation and spiritual passage\, including pieces related to the independent film Redbelly and to the upcoming children’s book\, The Falling Stars of Emerworld. \nAfter living in beloved Vermont for 2 decades\, the artist is soon moving his base of operations to Haiku\, Hawaii and the show represents both a retrospective of this period in New England\, and a conjuration around the upcoming life shift. \nMany of the sculptures are crafted from thin layers of vibrantly tinted plexiglass\, laser cut and assembled into various designs\, many fantastical or hypnotic. The eponymous Portals series utilizes a small number of simple elements to map the passage through various life transformations: Love\, Initiation\, Shadow Extraction… The pieces are puzzled together\, with the same underlying designs explored through myriad palettes of color\, mirrored reflection & transparency. Visual stories are told in multiple ways\, drawing out nuances of the narrative and different poetic associations. In the series Uprising\, ten variations of the same large sculpture chart personal and communal upheaval and ascension. LEDs and mirrors are utilized in several pieces to expressively utilize the illusion of infinite depth. \nAlso on display are pieces from his bouncy ball series\, where 100’s of balls are coaxed into place between sheets of plexiglass\, creating roiling pools of emerging and disintegrating shapes\, suggesting essential forms discovered through a telescope\, microscope\, or x-ray. \n“Much of my work is concerned with how to evoke or visualize subtle phenomena — physical\, conceptual\, emotional\, spiritual — while taking a joyful interest in the qualities of diverse materials and precise engineering.” \nMutsu Crispin / John DiGeorge grew up in a rural suburb of Atlanta\, GA and studied Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University. After a stint working in the film industry in New York City he moved to southern Vermont\, splitting his time between artistic ventures and design work for many local businesses and individuals\, including the Brattleboro Museum\, VT Jazz Center\, Brattleboro Hospice\, Boys & Girls Club\, Oak Meadow\, GS Precision\, Clear Solutions\, Altiplano\, Mitchell Giddings Fine Arts\, Superfresh\, Experiential Tools\, Laura Zindel\, David Brewster\, Jared Flynn\, Johnny Swing\, and many others! \nSpecial thanks to John & Lissa at 118 Elliot and to Roger\, Tom and the staff at Clear Solutions in Hinsdale\, New Hampshire where most of the pieces in the show were fabricated.

Escher: Journey to Infinity” Launches Architecture + Design Free Monthly Film Series at 118 Elliot’s Ongoing Collaboration with American Institute of Architects Vermont and Burlington City Arts Features Simultaneous Showings and Virtual Day-Of Option \n14 September 2022\, Brattleboro Vermont:  The Architecture + Design Film Series will kick-off its 10th season of free\, monthly films shown in person simultaneously at 6:30 pm at 118 Elliot in Brattleboro\, 118 Elliot Street\, and at Burlington City Arts’ Contois Auditorium up north\, on September 21\, 2022 with “M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity” (2019\, Robin Lutz\, 81 minutes\, Netherlands\, mostly English with some subtitles). Doors open at 6:15 pm. Film showings are free and open to all (masking is optional but appreciated) and are also available for virtual viewing all day through the A+D Film website at: www.adfilmseries.org. \nThe film\, equal parts history\, psychology\, and psychedelia\, is the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Director Robin Lutz’s portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings\, excerpts from lectures\, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry\, while Escher’s woodcuts\, lithographs\, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form. “The public sees the film through the eyes of Escher himself: The camera is Escher\,” Lutz writes.  \n“The film’s plot lines interlock like the labyrinth of an Escher print. And driving it all are those Escher words\, filled with longing\, growing dark (as someone wrote of Bach) with an excess of light\,” Penn\, of Penn & Teller\, wrote in a review. \nThe Architecture + Design Film Series website  https://adfilmseries.org/films/ offers the history of the film series and descriptions and trailers for all eight movies this season. Here’s the lineup so mark your calendars for these Wednesday showings: October 19 – OLMSTED AND AMERICA’S URBAN PARKS; November 16 – THE LAST ARTISANS OF VENICE; December 14 – FREY I: THE ARCHITECTURAL ENVOY;  January 18 – FREY II: THE ARCHITECTURAL INTERPRETER;  February 15 – DAVID HOCKNEY AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS;  March 15 – LOUIS SULLIVAN: THE STRUGGLE FOR AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE;   April 19 – MAU: DESIGN THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE. \nThe films will be introduced by Brattleboro-based architect Jim Williams\, AIA Vermont Chapter board member and architect for 118 Elliot’s 2015 renovation\, who said: “When we decided to expand the film series beyond Burlington four years ago\, we chose 118 Elliot because the wonderful transformation of that dilapidated laundromat into a thriving gallery and community gathering space is a vibrant demonstration of the power of good design to effect positive change.”  \n118 Elliot Director John Loggia said: “We are pleased to present these thoughtfully curated films for free and open to all\, underwritten by 118 and local sponsors as a service to the community to foster understanding and stimulate conversation about the impact of design and beauty in our daily lives.”   \n“M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity” (2019\, Robin Lutz\, 81 minutes\, Netherlands\, mostly English with some subtitles) tells the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972) through his own words and images: diary musings\, excerpts from lectures\, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry\, while Escher’s woodcuts\, lithographs\, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form.

Creative Relations is a group show of Brattleboro artists who have invited family members\, also artists\, to hang work alongside their own. The premise of the show explores how family genetics\, relationships and the social and cultural history of the artist informs their work. \nThursday\, June 23 at 5pm these artists will share their views on the influences of relationships in their own work within a panel discussion entitled The Epigenetics of Creativity. We invite the public to think along with these artists about the intergenerational context that their artwork is embedded within. What’s the impact of DNA\, family ties\, environmental factors\, nature/nurture? What evokes the creative urge? How does creativity relate to personal and ancestral trauma. How do certain traits or experiences get ‘passed down’? Is creativity one of them? \n______________________________________________ \nMarkie Sallick\, a painter\, grew up watching her mother\, Lucy Sallick\, create art. She remembers when her mother shared the slogan: “Do Your Own Thing” during the Feminist Movement in NYC. Markie was inspired by seeing her mother make her mark in the world. Markie’s images of bodies are juxtaposed with her mother’s portraits. \nJohn Loggia\, one of the painters\, is including a film his mother made\, with a sound track of music he composed. The film is called “In her own Eyes” which she filmed traveling throughout the world\, in particular China in the 50’s (including images of public group Tai Chi practice) \nFor Phyllis Odessey\, making art is healing. Creativity is a joyful and redemptive transmuting experience. She reported that her father\, a very successful electrical engineer\, when he took up painting found such joy in it that he set aside a room where he and all his children would paint. That is where Phyllis and her sister began their artistic careers. \nSky Gould grew up surrounded by antiques\, which found their way into his light sculptures. He shared: Our lives are metaphors for how we see ourselves in the world. Our agency is our ability to act in the world. For example everything that an individual creates is a function of our agency – personal meaning in the world. An artist translates their sense of agency to share with others. \nTina Olsen\, a painter\, is including work created by her two daughters and grandchildren. She comes from a farming Mennonite background that stretches several generations before her birth. For her the Mennonite concept of being in the world and not of the world is part of what makes her an artist\, helping her bypass the “what do the neighbors think” mentality and find her own path. This sense of personal freedom extended to her daughters being encouraged and comfortable expressing themselves in their own way.

Director Pascal Giacomini and Writer/Producer Carine Fabius will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening. The suggested entry donation is ten dollars but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.In 2018\, Galerie Lakaye produced the 70-minute feature documentary\, Out of Chaos\, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti\, which has been screened to great acclaim at 34 film festivals worldwide\,  garnering a Best Director Award at the Amsterdam World International Film Festival. Directed by Pascal Giacomini\, and written and produced by Haitian native Carine Fabius\, the powerfully evocative film finds an unexpected art explosion in a Haitian slum\, where Black artists living in extreme poverty create  extraordinary art under impossible circumstances. Many of their works now belong to prominent international museums and private collections. Out of Chaos\, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti is an unvarnished yet positive look at Haiti’s vibrant culture and indestructible spirit. \nPascal Giacomini and his wife/partner\, Carine Fabius\, own Galerie Lakaye\, a contemporary ethnic art Gallery in Los Angeles with a focus on Haitian art. To chart a course toward meaningful\, effective change in support of the global Black Lives Matter Movement\, Galerie Lakaye has launched a campaign to provide Out of Chaos\, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti as an educational tool at high school and university levels. Using the film as its focal point\, Galerie Lakaye developed a dynamic  curriculum that facilitates important discussions about diversity and inclusion\, systemic racism\, poverty\, inequity\, sustainable art creation\, and the Black experience. Galerie Lakaye hopes viewers will be moved by the documentary and inspired to support the educational use of this outstanding film\, which has already been screened at Duke University\, Cal State Northridge\, University of Virginia\, and many others across the U.S. \nFor more information about the gallery or the film\, Out of Chaos\, an Artist’s Journey in Haiti\, please contact Galerie Lakaye director Carine Fabius at galerie@galerielakaye.com or 323-460- 7333.

These recent paintings employ a technique of enhanced automatic painting where he allows the composition to develop freely without premeditation then refines the image into a colorful dreamscape that seems to have materialized as an architectural detail. Set gallery hours are Fridays and Saturdays 3 to 6 pm Sundays 12-3 or by appointment: 802 258 7055 \nRoxcell Bartholomew was born in St Vincent\, an island in the Caribbean that is home to Garifuna\, an Afro/Caribbean community that developed from the intermingling of the indigenous people and escaped slaves in the 17th and 18th centuries. Roxcell lost touch with much of his personal and cultural roots when he moved to the US in his teens.  \nAfter entering the US military at 21 his interest in drawing and painting helped him cope with a high stress environment and provided a safe place to reflect on his life path and connect with his cultural history. His current work is a response to the weight of life in the “melting pot” and the necessary task of mindfully reconnecting with his culture. “Painting has always been my way of introspecting and processing my experiences. Whenever I’m creating\, there is no choice but to be present within the space called ‘me’ and that eventually always leads me back to my roots. I simply try my best to breathe life into the surreal colorscapes and feelings that arise within my stream of consciousness.”   \nThe opening reception will also feature outside poetry readings by esteemed local writers Shanta Lee Gander and Havana-born Pablo Medina at 6:30 pm. Shanta will be reading from her new book GHETTOCLAUSTROPHOBIA. Everyone’s Books will be selling books for signing at the event. Delicious mocktails will be sold outside to complement the event. \nII8 ELLIOT is a modern gallery and environment for the creative arts\, educational talks and community happenings\, fully ADA accessible\, well-ventilated and with a large outside area in the heart of downtown Brattleboro.

Masks required if unvaccinated. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n“The Rich Get Richer: How Our Quest to Accumulate Wealth has Divided America” will be the topic of a conversation between author/journalist Michael Mechanic and local author and campaigner Chuck Collins\, at 7:00pm on Tuesday\, August 3\, at 118 Elliot (118 Elliot Street\, Brattleboro). Since Mechanic and Collins share overlapping interests\, their dialogue about the surprising advantages and pitfalls of wealth hoarding promises to be as lively as it is informative. \nRegistration is advised https://rich-get-richer.eventbrite.com \nMichael Mechanic is a veteran senior editor at Mother Jones whose writing and editing have resulted in dozens of journalism awards. He is author of the new book\, Jackpot: How the Super-Rich Really Live –and How Their Wealth Harms Us All. His work at Mother Jones has often focused on social and criminal justice\, racial disparities\, mass incarceration\, economic inequality\, and corporate shenanigans. Since writing Jackpot\, he’s been looking more at the ways the wealthiest Americans manipulate the system to their advantage. He lives in Oakland\, California\,but grew up messing around in the Windham woods and brooks with his local cousins. His late mother\, Maggie Newton\, grew up on a farm near Hamilton Falls where her parents\, David and Margaret Newton\, established the Newton School for boys; she later moved to Brattleboro and played in the local orchestra. “Windham County is my second home\, dear to my heart\,” Mechanic said. “I’m excited to finally meet Chuck in person\, and for this chance to share our experiences writing about a topic of such great local resonance as wealth moves into this state and creates financial opportunities but also huge challenges for long-time Vermonters.” \nChuck Collins is is an expert on U.S. inequality and the racial wealth divide. He is the author of the new book\, The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions\, and Born on Third Base\, among other books. He is also the Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies\, where he co-edits Inequality.org. Chuck and his wife Mary live with a flock of unruly chickens on Mineral Springs Farm in Guilford. “I’m thrilled that we can host Michael in Brattleboro on his trip to Vermont\,” said Collins. “The growing concentration of wealth and power is disrupting everything we care about and we need to better understand these forces and explore ways to reverse them.” \nThe Rich Get Richer is co-sponsored by Everyone’s Books and 118 Elliot. The authors will be available tosign their books\, which can be purchased at the event or ordered in advance through Everyone’s Books.

These perpetrators exploit gaps in tribal jurisdictional authority and target Native women as ‘safe victims’. Sisters Rising follows six women who refuse to let this pattern of violence continue in the shadows: a tribal cop in the midst of the North Dakota oil boom\, an attorney fighting to overturn restrictions on tribal sovereignty\, an Indigenous women’s self-defense instructor\, grassroots advocates working to influence legislative change\, and the author of the first anti-sex trafficking code to be introduced to a reservation’s tribal court. Their stories shine an unflinching light on righting injustice on both an individual and systemic level. \nRead more about the screening in this VermontBiz article: WWAC presents Brattleboro premiere of Sisters Rising July 8 \nFree and open to the public\, but seating is limited$10 suggested donation at the doorRegistration is required Click here to Register \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCurrent Exhibit URL:https://118elliot.com/event/july-8-7pm-sisters-rising/ LOCATION:118 Elliot CATEGORIES:Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/sisters_rising_wide.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210702T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210702T200000 DTSTAMP:20260425T070057 CREATED:20210618T180528Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220108T170121Z UID:7349-1625245200-1625256000@118elliot.com SUMMARY:“You Have No Idea What It’s Like Over Here” Photos & Letters from Brattleboro WW1 Nurse Marion McCune Rice DESCRIPTION:Gallery Walk Opening Friday July 2nd (5pm-8pm)EXHIBIT runs July 2 – September 1 \nGallery HoursFridays and Saturdays 3 – 6 / Sundays 12 – 3 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Photos: Marion McCune Rice in her American Red Cross uniform during her four years as a volunteer nurse in France during WW1.  Credit: Marion McCune Rice Collection. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Multimedia Exhibit Features Marion and Other Rice Family Audio Stories \nWorld War I volunteer nurse Marion McCune Rice’s moving photographs and letters will be on exhibit July 2 to September 1 at 118 Elliot Street Gallery in Brattleboro. Several members of Nurse Marion’s family will be present to discuss the Rice family’s legacy on the town during an opening reception during Gallery Walk Friday\, July 2 from 5 to 8 pm at 118 Elliot\, 118 Elliot Street\, Brattleboro\, Vermont 05301. Fixed gallery hours are Fridays 3 pm to 6 pm and Saturdays and Sundays noon to 3 pm.. \nThe exhibit is part of a summer of events cosponsored by the Brattleboro Words Trail and the Brattleboro Historical Society to help acquaint people with the Trail — self-guided audio tours of places and the people associated with them that reflect the significant historical and literary achievements of the Downtown and surrounding area. People can download the Trail app at www.BrattleboroWords.org.  \nThe Rice family\, whose creative\, community-minded lives and spirits helped shape the identity of Brattleboro as the special place it is today\, lived on Chestnut Hill and worked at the American Building on Main Street in Brattleboro. Several Nurse Marion descendants helped produce audio stories for these spots on the Trail’s Downtown Tour. Nurse Marion\, her brother – longtime Brattleboro Reformer publisher/editor Howard C. Rice\, his wife Amy (to whom Nurse Marion’s letters are addressed)\, Stephen Daye Press publishers John S. and Marion (Rice) Hooper\, and Howard C. Rice\, Jr.\, a Rudyard Kipling scholar\, all lived on Chestnut Hill.  \nSteve Hooper wrote and narrated Nurse Marion’s story and his daughter\, Althaea Carroll\, performed the voice of her great\, great Aunt. Steve’s wife\, Jackie Hooper\, wrote and narrated the Trail story ‘The Rice Family of Chestnut Hill.’ Both audio stories were produced by Donna Blackney. \nThe Trail pegs other Rice / Hooper family stories to the American Building on Main Street where the Brattleboro Reformer and Stephen Daye Press were first located. Steve’s brother John Hooper narrates the Rice family American Building stories which were produced by Sally Seymour.. Steve and John’s father\, John S. Hooper\, Howard C. Rice’s son in law\, was also publisher/editor of the Brattleboro Reformer for more than 20 years (after the Stephen Daye press closed) until editor Norm Runnion (also featured on the Trail) took the helm in the 70s.   \nHundreds of photographs Marion McCune Rice took with a Kodak camera during her four years as a Red Cross nurse in hospitals in France are the source of this exhibit of 23 black and white images painstakingly printed from her original Kodak negatives by photographer Steve Hooper\, who is Rice’s grand-nephew. Steve discovered the ‘treasure trove’ after his uncle Howard Rice\, Jr. died and Steve was helping clean out the Chestnut Hill house. \n“This photographic exhibit documenting four years of an American nurse in WWI is one of the most unique collections ever found in this country\,” says Steve\, who produced a documentary film “An American Nurse at War” based on Rice’s photographs and letters. Her story has been praised by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns and was the subject of a History Channel documentary shown nationally. \nThe exhibit will show primary materials including Rice’s Carte D’Identitie\, her handwritten letters and original war documents. A Kodak camera similar to the one Rice used\, a war medal Rice received and the uniform she wore will also be on display.  \nA giant 1896 Sanborn floor map\, created by MuseArts\, Inc. for the Brattleboro Historical Society for a Vermont Historical Society display in Montpelier but never before exhibited in Brattleboro\, and other Historical Society information will also be exhibited. The spectacular map allows visitors to ‘walk’ downtown Brattleboro\, the Whetstone Brook\, the Connecticut River\, train connections\, and see the purpose of each building and names of businesses.  \n“Our Storied Landscape: Exploring the Brattleboro Words Trail”\, the large hand-carved clay murals of Windham County and Downtown Brattleboro created by artist Cynthia Parker-Houghton for the Trail\, are also part of the exhibit. Copies of the book “Print Town: Brattleboro’s Legacy of Words” will also be available for sale. \nIn August\, the Summer Trail offerings will shift to a focus on the history of journalism in Brattleboro with a focus on the evolution of the Brattleboro Reformer.  A Roundtable Discussion on local journalism today will be held with a reception with journalists from a variety of local media at the August 6 Gallery Walk at 118 Elliot.
